Today we celebrate the day the Founders declared independence by publishing a list of things King George had done that, apparently, were cuckish insufficiently authoritarian.

It’s a very obscure question but I did some research and it turns out that the president who led us out of the Depression and kicked Hitler’s ass was actually in a wheelchair? Who knew?

Mississippi is the poorest state in the US.
Even though the state gets federal welfare funds, it is difficult to get welfare.
The money was all getting stolen, and they got away with it.
Now the journalists who exposed the story are facing a lawsuit and jail.

Mask bans are evil and dystopian and I am appalled that they’re even being proposed. Wearing masks to protect your health and the health of others needs to be recognized as a right for all and an absolutely essential protection for those who would otherwise be unable to participate in society

According to this poll released today, immigration isn’t the top issue — it’s the sixth.
Americans care more about threats to democracy and health care, and almost as much about gun violence.
Is the @nytimes.com following the Will of the People, writing as much about those issues as the border?

in the video, the cop is was getting in peoples’ faces until this girl read out loud that NYPD has paid $600k in settlements related to him.
then he gets REAL quiet, GULPS like a cartoon character, nervously tugs at his collar, and stops making eye contact. it’s incredible. x.com/jenelaina/st...

From the rest of her essay-length tweet. By these rules trans women can just as easily claim that what makes us women is that we are “geared towards producing eggs”, but “something has gone wrong” in our development. These are both normative claims - neither can be empirically tested.

It's buried in this piece, but the most important part: The NY Times attempted to legitimize a lie being perpetrated by Trump and Giuliani against Biden, falsely accusing Biden of committing crimes in Ukraine.
They were only stopped by Trump's first impeachment.
